I don't think the release date was pushed back, I think they sold out of their first batch. My LHS showed it as in stock and should get mine next week, but i'm not holding my breath.

I don't think there were any sold yet. infact they might not even be in the us yet.

I really hope they are not being pushed back.
I needed mine landed in Australia by the 5th of Feb

Frank, just curious where you heard that at? Horizon still shows 1/29 on the truck/wheel promo kits.

Thanks man!

Alan do you know if this is for the consumer or the hobbyshop? (wheels) I work at a hobbyshop and saw the email the owner received.

It is offered to the hobby shops and they can do what they want with them(wheels) give them away or sell them.

Just being a losi makes it better:lol::lol:

No but seriously I think the losi truggy(refering to the 1.0) is a great truck. It has tons of steering and handles like a buggy in that manner. It is very light so it accellerates well and jumps very well. I personally think it is as durable as any other on the market.

As far as the 2.0 I'm sure it will be great. With the 14mm extension it will be very stable and forgiving.

teeforb 01-16-2009 02:39 PM

with the chassis and arms being extended for the 2.0, do you guys think the steering will still be there?

Here's a reply posted on the grid by Kendall bennet from Amain. It is about the Preorder system.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
I double checked the ETA on these, and they got pushed out until
the first week in Feb. So the ETA has been updated on our web site.

With the pre-order system, basically you are putting a hold on an item
that you would like to purchase, but you don't pay for it until it
arrives in stock. Once the items arrive in stock, you will get an email
letting you know, and you have 7 days to purchase it. If you don't
purchase within 7 days, the item will go back to general stock for
anyone to purchase.

Also note that the pre-order price is just an estimate of what the price
will be when the product arrives, and it may change when it actually
arrives. The price will always be in your favor though. If for some
reason the price goes up when the product arrives (unusual, but it has
happened), you will always pay the pre-order price that was listed when
you put the item onto back order. If the price goes down when it arrives
(or before it arrives), you only pay the current price at the point when
you actually purchase the product. So no matter what, you always get the
lowest price possible when buying pre-order products, so don't worry
about the price changing.

That is one reason we don't make customers pay for the product before it
arrives, as people get upset if they paid a higher price and the price
goes down when the product actually arrives :)
------------------------------------------------------------------------

I think it explains a lot
